Personal Fundraiser

This is my page to encourage support for donating to support research and cures!

If you feel the compassion to join me in raising funds for Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (because it feels good to care and help) here's the place.  

I care because 2020 has been hard, and so many people are still losing loved ones to cancer, covid, and other diseases.  Science can find impactful breakthroughs to change this for so many diverse populations faced with these realities.

I believe in Fred Hutch because scientists there are leading the charge to prevent, diagnose, understand, and treat cancer. In addition, Fred Hutch is at the forefront of the global COVID-19 response: deploying experts in infectious disease, immunology, and more to track and understand the virus and lead the large-scale vaccine and treatment trials necessary to overturn the pandemic and protect communities everywhere.

I’m ready for a healthier world, and hope you join me to invest in the science that will get us there. 

Please donate today if this feels right for you. Thank you and happy holidays!
